    Requested pics: 05 Camry Nav into 99 L/C

    Bull, I second this along with the other thread on the install. I like this setup and with the supercharger installed in our 99LX it will be a keeper. I might as well install the nav.

    towing trailer

    24ft trailer is a big long load for a AHC equipped 100. Yes on the brake control and you may want to look into helper air bags for the rear coil springs. When the AHC is loaded down....you can over load the shocks and it will fall into limp mode. Dont ask me how I know. :doh:

    LX 470 suspension

    Pass on that extended for that price. Our 99LX was certified and I have run it up to 88k and no problems with suspension. We tow, we go off on Jeep roads, we go in the mountains. This is not a urban suv. :cheers:

    TRD LC/LX supercharger boost pressure ??s

    I have a couple of installs coming up. I will leave the feedback here. Actually, I might order the data logger and get some real info for the gang here.

    TRD LC/LX supercharger boost pressure ??s

    Hoser, Here are the last 3 tanks 1. 13.0 mpg, 50/50 city/hwy with some boosting on the hwy, and a 75 mile drive at 75mph into a huge headwind. 2. 11.7mpg, 50/50 city/hwy with mountain driving in the Cascades, some steep stop and go driving that used up some boost and gas. 3...

    Navs in, Tbelt and starter done, time for Revos

    You could always put the TRD supercharger on there. :doh: Congrats on the nav install. I may put an aftermarket unit in our 99LX because after the TRD install this one is a keeper.

    lug nuts

    Dean, Snap those puppies up! 300 is a fair deal for the hypersilver units. I have a set of hypersilvers for my Blizzaks and I almost wish my summer wheels were the hypersilvers. We have the chrome for summer. :frown: They are clear coated. Will the streaks buff off? Oh, and yes...

    TRD LC/LX supercharger boost pressure ??s

    Austin, Yes, yes and no. The 4.7 TRD is all together another beast as for boost control and that is the problem and potentially why some engines went boom. There is huge potential for overboost in the design of the 4.7 system. There is not that same potential in the 3.4. Make sense...

    TRD LC/LX supercharger boost pressure ??s

    Dean, The only datalogging I can do with this is the LM1 wideband. The Toyota scan tool gives live time readout of the timing and 02 sensors but no datalogs. I have a source for brand new TRD superchargers complete with ecu. Give me a ping off list or PM. Actually, the account manager...

    TRD LC/LX supercharger boost pressure ??s

    Amando, No problem and glad I can help in putting some info out here. As for tuning....nothing extra for my LX but the basics and making sure a platform is stable for spirited driving. Any tuning book for forced induction will send you down the path to set in order....1. Boost 2. Ignition...

    TRD LC/LX supercharger boost pressure ??s

    Sure, it could have sent the rods and pistons out the block like some of the Tundras that raised the red flag in the first place. 13psi on this platform and drive it like you stole it would = rods on the street. :doh: Tune your cars and take ownership. :) Mileage?? I dont know. I...

    TRD LC/LX supercharger boost pressure ??s

    Ok, I have some final news on this topic. Indeed the LX was overboosting and spiking up to 12-14psi boost. :eek: Actually, this is most likely the "real" reason why TRD/Toyota pulled the V8 supercharger in the first place. Toyota is not completely stupid....replace a few 15,000 dollar...

    Arrrrgh, files too big....I will resize and post the other pics. For now, enjoy the STI rompin on the field.

    Lets see if this works....LX, STI on the back roads and lapping the folks at PIR.

    Help: Need a survey of LX470 owners having any engine noises upon cold starting

    SW, Not a whole lot we can do here. Toyota knows about the "noise" and "problem" but will do nothing. Toyota has learned from GM....deny, deny, deny the piston slap issue. People....I know the difference between an internal engine knock and a exhaust leak. :doh: Tundras have the...

    Help: Need a survey of LX470 owners having any engine noises upon cold starting

    SW, Yes, I have accepted this condition and Lexus says they will consider any piston failure in the future for poss warranty. We decided not to purchase a new LC/LX or GX and instead will keep this old 99LX and I put a TRD supercharger on it instead. So, if that piston is weak....I will...

    TRD LC/LX supercharger boost pressure ??s

    Haha, You were talking about a picture of my Subaru STI. Cobb and Perrin are aftermarket companies with specialty products for the STI to upgrade the car. I tune the STI with the Cobb software/firmware program that give me access to the ECU to rewrite all the maps. :cool:

    TRD LC/LX supercharger boost pressure ??s

    Amando, Sure, I will post some pics. Are you familiar with Cobb or Perrin products? I tune these platforms with parts and engine management from these two companies. Oh, yeah.....and love to take my STI out on the road course. :doh:

    TRD LC/LX supercharger boost pressure ??s

    Dean, Yep, got it. I think this spike might occur because I have my HKS boost gauge tee into the line before it goes over to the TRD EBC. It should not make too much difference because the pressure/volume should quickly fill both lines. The lines are all tight. I was just needing some...
